Senior Frontend Software Engineer

At MedScout, we're creating a revolutionary revenue acceleration platform that sales and marketing teams at life science companies love. MedScout unites the latest medical claims intelligence from public and private payors with an intuitive user experience purpose-built for sales professionals and leaders at burgeoning medical device and diagnostic companies.

We're looking for an experienced Frontend Engineer to bolster our remote-first engineering team. As one of the primary front-end contributors, you'll have a massive impact on taking user feedback and strategic initiatives from concept to production.

How will you help build this company?

• Dig in with our users and team to really understand our customers’ challenges, then make significant contributions to solving them!
• Implement complex interactive frontend features using Next.js, React, and TypeScript.
• Work closely with UX/UI designers to translate designs into effective implementations.
• Drive the development and design of our data visualization features using Nivo Charts.
• Communicate user feedback and your innovative ideas to MedScout product, sales, and engineering teams.
• Stay updated with emerging frontend technologies and propose how to incorporate them into our tech stack.
• Lead by example, fostering a culture of high-quality code, design principles, and best practices.

How We'll Evaluate You (Day To Day)

• Code quality and contribution
• Peer review feedback
• Project and task completion
• Innovative thinking and problem-solving
• Team collaboration and communication

Interview Process

As a small team, we strive to have all qualified candidates meet and speak to every member of the organization. This loosely translates to:

• Recruiter screening call (if applicable)
• Hiring manager screening call
• Interview with the CEO
• 1 - 3 group and/or 1-1 technical interviews
• Group interview with the non-technical team
• 3 reference calls with our CEO and your references
• Offer!

In some cases, we may request more information or take-home assignments to better gauge your ability to contribute to the team.

Are we a fit for each other?

At this stage, how you operate is arguably more important than what you'll do day-to-day. As an early team member, we're looking for strong alignment to the following core values.

• Effort on our inputs: We prepare diligently, leave it all on the "field", and move on quickly. Focusing on good habits and work ethic, not individual outcomes, ultimately creates a winning culture and a successful company.
• Earn Trust: We keep our commitments to our customers, partners, and each other. We listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully. We strive to demonstrate empathy, inclusion, and intellectual honesty.
• Intelligence Drives Operations: We learn continuously and have the humility to quickly recognize when our current assumptions are wrong so we can readjust accordingly.
• Hire And Develop The Best: Good players like playing on good teams. We look to raise the bar with every hire and promotion. We work hard to identify and develop high potential.
• Take Decisive Action: The only sure path to continuous improvement is a hypothesis-driven approach with a bias for speed of experimentation.

Requirements

What does an ideal background look like?

• 4+ years experience as a frontend engineer in a high-functioning software engineering team solving customer problems.
• Strong expertise in JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and TypeScript.
• Extensive experience with frontend frameworks such as Next.js and React.
• Solid experience with PWA or React Native with Expo.
• Proficiency with Material-UI (MUI) and data visualization libraries like Nivo.
• Deep understanding of consuming APIs and working with backend services.
• Clear understanding of design principles behind scalable applications.
• Impressive problem-solving skills, meticulous attention to detail, and robust work ethic.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• Experience leading team projects and mentoring junior developers (read: ownership).
• Experience with agile methodologies.

Nice to haves:

• Experience with HubSpot or a similar CRM or sales enablement software.
• Background in healthcare/healthtech.
• Understanding of medical claims and billing practices (coding, reimbursement, etc.).
• Enough Django/Python knowledge to occasionally unblock yourself in our API layer.
• Experience building performant interactions and data visualizations for very large datasets.
• Familiarity with the process of deploying React Native applications to both App Store and Google Play.

You can be a great candidate even if you don’t check every box above. If that’s you, please don’t hesitate to apply and tell us why you’d be a fit!
